I have two SCSI disks and a SCSI CD running off of a Tekram DC390F controller. I have the Tekram FreeBSD disks and can run a multiple OS systems with either 1) DOS and WinNT 4 or 2) DOS and FreeBSD However, my goal is to run all three with DOS and WinNT on sd0 and FreeBSD on sd1 using the WinNT loader to load the OS (alternative suggestions are welcome). I have small FAT partitions at the start of each disk to get around geometry complaints at bootup and am loading FreeBSD into the second partition. When I follow the FAQ on using the WinNT loader and select FreeBSD, I get a No boot partition message. I suspect that either I did not get the correct boot block or that the FAQ does not work when the multiple OS are across more than one disk. Any suggestions are most welcome. thanks michael pearlman P.S. Please reply directly to the email address above as well as to the list.
